The opinion
ZAPPALA, Justice,
concurring.
I concur in the result.
The issue in this appeal is whether the Appellees should be permitted to file, nunc pro tunc, exceptions to a report of the township Board of Commissioners on the vacating of a portion of a road. I do not agree with the Majority’s application of the “fraud or breakdown in court operation” analysis to the facts at hand. The statute involved here provides for the filing of exceptions to a report of the Board of Commissioners, and marks the time period for such exceptions from the filing of the report with the clerk of courts. The statute does not, however, require public notice of the date of the filing of the report.
It is clear that all statutory requirements have been complied with here. It is also clear that in other contexts the legislature has imposed by statute a requirement that public notice be given of the date of filing of a report, where the report is subject to exceptions and the time limit for filing the exceptions depends upon that date. See 53 P.S. § 56930 repealed, 1978 April 28, P.L. 202, No. 53 § 2(a) [1129], effective June 27, 1980 (eminent domain). The question then is whether due process requires that those entitled to file exceptions be given notice that the report has been filed. Because the Appellees asserted no individual property right which is affected by the failure to give notice *74 of filing the report, I find no basis for determining that the statutory method established by the legislature is infirm.
